Hello nandhumca,

Thank you for your post.

Account.Flatten is designed to close any open positions as well as flatten any pending orders for the Account and instrument(s) indicated:

In order to only close an open position, you could keep track of or check the current position and whether it is long or short as well as by how many contracts for the desired account and instrument. Then, you would be able to submit a market order to buy/sell that many contracts without cancelling any remaining orders for that account and instrument. You can subscribe to position updates for the designated account within the indicator:

And you can also obtain information from the Account.Positions object:

Once you know whether the position is long or short and the quantity, you could use CreateOrder() to create an order to exit for that quantity:

Then submit the order with Submit():
